Letterpress with Photopolymer Plates - 21 Jan 2017

In this workshop students will learn to expose, washout, and print from their own photopolymer plates. We will discuss text and image, how to create a successful plate from both computer-generated images and designs, and hand-drawn ones, how to mount your plate, and will also cover all basic letterpress operation. Students will get to print a small edition of up to 40 prints from their plates in up to two ink colors.

All materials are provided, including paper, inks, and plate material. Participants must bring their design printed in black on transparency material. The design should be no larger than 5 x 7 inches.
